I think you want a profession.

So that’s Engineering, IT, Accounting, Law, Medicine, teaching, any of the Trades. These are all well paid things with specific skills and all have the opportunity to be spun into businesses if you are entrepreneurial.

I think you want to do something you find rewarding, you don’t need to love what you do but you do need to feel some sense of accomplishment when you finish a task. I’m probably 25/75 in terms of love/indifference but completing things and having them work is satisfying.

I think a quest for something you love and something that gives you purpose is a fool hearty quest. But make sure it’s something that gives you something back.
